Colt's Alan Cody meets his hero

Many years ago, before Alan Cody embarked on his Sales role in Colt Ventilation he had visions of becoming the next Lance Armstrong. Alan raced in England for two years before heading back to Ireland where he used his knowledge gained in the UK racing circuit to defeat his rivals.

When Lance Armstrong competed in the “Tour of Ireland” he also gave his many fans an opportunity to cycle with him one morning he simply tweeted that he was going for a spin in the Phoenix Park in Dublin and almost two thousand people turned up to join him.

During the spin Alan (in the blue) actually got to cycle alongside and chat with his hero, which was captured in the photo below.
